            1          We now turn to claim 89, and later will return to the Publication to                        
            2   consider the examples.

            5          From a point of view of the new rejections we make in this opinion,                         
            6   claim 89 on appeal is representative of the claimed article of manufacture.                        
            7          Claim 89 reads [drawing numbers, some paragraphing and backeted                             
            8   matter added]:                                                                                     
            9                 An article, comprising:                                                              
          10                  a biaxially textured surface or a single crystal surface 12; and                     
          11                  a solution coated in a single coating on the biaxially textured                      
          12                  surface, the solution including:                                                     
          13                         a carboxylate salt of a rare earth metal;                                     
          14                         a fluorinated carboxylate salt of an alkaline earth metal;                    
          15                         a non-halogenated carboxylate salt of copper; and                             
          16                         an alcohol, the rare earth metal salt, the alkaline earth                     
          17    metal salt and the copper salt being dissolved in the alcohol;                                     
          18                  wherein the solution is capable of being processed in less than                      
          19    about five hours to form a barium fluoride containing coating that is a                            
          20    precursor for a superconductor film 14,                                                            
          21                  the superconductor film having [1] a thickness of at least about                     
          22    0.5 micrometer[s] and [2] a critical current density of at least about 1 x 106                     
          23    amperes per square centimeter, and                                                                 
          24                  the superconductor film 14 comprising the rare earth metal, the                      
          25    alkaline earth metal and copper.
